Decisions Decisions. 19" or 18"

Post by Bluebrakes » Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:26 pm

So who on here has 19" wheels on their car?

And have you lowered your car?

I'm trying to decide whether I should get 19" or 18" rims.

For a good few reasons.

1. Handling
2. Cost 19" tyres is gonna cost a bit. :shock: ouch
3. Looks

When I say looks, i've seen a few S4's about which look odd with large alloys on them. Almost looks like a monster truck. Having said that these were probably larger than 19" and hadn't been lowered.

So anyone got any pics of their 19" shloys? 8)
Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves!?!

Standard S4, but not for long.

I had those 19's on my s4 with a set of h&r coilcovers so it sat very low ....

01 RS4, Milltek, Dahlback Racing rears, RS6 fronts and a few bits to be added.

Also, as I hate driving, my toy to play with - a Honda CBR F Sport
